NT Pronunciations: Erasmian or Modern Greek

You just taught me something new

I hope you're familiar with the undocumented Logos software response to choosing Erasmus:

"Robertson refers to this fascinating example of the seriousness of the issue in the sixteenth century:

In 1542 Stephen Gardiner, Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, “issued an edict for his university, in which, e.g. it was categorically forbidden to distinguish αι from ε, ει and οι from ι in pronunciation, under penalty of expulsion from the Senate, exclusion from the attainment of a degree, rustication for students, and domestic chastisement for boys.”
In other words, Cambridge men were to adhere to the Byzantine pronunciation of Greek (on pain of expulsion), which was similar, if not identical, to the way modern Greek is spoken today."

Again from that great Zondervan sale (Advances in Greek).
